We ask you for this peace today, Lord. Speak your consoling truth into our hearts, the truth that you love us and long for us since you made us for yourself. Grant that we may remain in your truth and in your love as we go through our work this day. Amen.

HB 4653 ON THIRD READING
(by Anchía, Rose, Frazier, J. González, Meyer, et al.)
HB 4653, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to participation in a deferred retirement option plan by members of the retirement systems for police and fire fighters in certain municipalities.
HB 4653 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE ANCHÍA: I'll direct you to a letter that all of you have on your desks from the Dallas Police Association and the Dallas Firefighters Association in favor of this bill. It's going to allow us to retain 69 senior officers in our Dallas police force. Our DROP program is used as an important incentive, in fact, our police chief has come down here to advocate for it extensively. In Dallas, we need to hire 600 more police officers. This allows us, at least, to keep some of our senior police officers on the force through this incentive.
They are currently paying 13.5 percent of their paycheck, but they will receive no benefit for those who have stayed after 10 years unless they extend from 10 years to 20 under this bill. The bill is not retroactive, members. There are, again, 69 senior officers who are still on the force, but have exceeded the 10-year DROP benefit, yet they are still paying into the DROP program and will receive no benefit going forward.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Ramos offered the following amendment to HB 4653:
Amend HB 4653 on third reading by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. Article 6243a-1, Revised Statutes, is amended by adding Section 6.142 to read as follows:
Sec. 6.142. CONTINUING STUDY ON IMPACT OF DROP. (a) In this section, "funded ratio" has the meaning assigned by Section 802.2011, Government Code.
(b) At least once every five years, the city council, in conjunction with the State Pension Review Board, shall conduct a study on the actuarial impact of DROP on the pension system and the impact of DROP on improving employee retention by the city. The study must state whether:
(1) during the five-year period preceding the study, the system continued to maintain a funded ratio that was equal to or greater than 40 percent according to each actuarial valuation prepared by the system during that period and, if the system did not maintain a funded ratio that was equal to or greater than 40 percent during that period, whether and to what extent providing DROP contributed to the reduced funded ratio; and
(2) in the opinion of the council, DROP meets the goal of lengthening the careers of police officers and fire fighters employed by the city.
Amendment No. 1 - Point of Order
Representative Anchía raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 1 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Anchía raises a point of order against further consideration of the Ramos Amendment (Amendment No. 1), under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
The bill extends the eligibility period for the deferred retirement option plan offered by certain municipal retirement systems. The amendment would require the municipality's governing body to conduct a study every five years to determine the impact of the deferred retirement option plan on both the retirement system's actuarial soundness and the municipality's ability to improve employee retention. Ms. Ramos argues that her amendment merely provides an accountability mechanism for the changes to law made by the bill.
The bill makes a single change to extend the current eligibility period from 10 to 20 years. The amendment relates to the matters beyond this limited scope. Thus, it is not germane. See 87 H. Jour. 4222-4223 (2021).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.
HB 4653 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE RAMOS: Please, please pay attention. It's a very important issue, which is why I was interrupted. Three billion dollars—billion with a "b." Three billion dollars is what the unfunded liability is on this current fund as it stands. In 2017, it was $1 billion of unfunded liability in this fund account. Now, you will hear the author say it is up for sunset review in 2025. The current bill, as written, is extending the time that these officers and firefighters can contribute to this fund from 10 years to 20 years.
Now, hear that. If in 10 years we are at $3 billion unfunded liability, $3 billion in the red—and this is just for Dallas—but if right now, with the 10-year participation, we are $3 billion negative where are we going to be if we extend it to 20 years? So what we need to do is leave the fund as is, respect our commitments as is, and figure out a way to dig ourselves out of this $3 billion before we extend the time. Mind you, once again, it is up for sunset review in 2025. If at that time the recommendation is to extend it to 20 years then we ought to respect that, but we cannot put the cart before the horse and bail out, again, this fund. Whether it's taxing the City of Dallas or the State of Texas, the taxpayers will have to fill the gap.
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS: I'm listening to your bill and I saw the amendment. I just want to make sure we put it in perspective for members so they'll understand why you felt this amendment was important. As I understand, it was a study to review a pension plan that has been in trouble, is that correct?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am.
DAVIS: I've spoken with Chairman Anchia and I'm aware that Dallas police and fire have indicated that they support extending this time. Are you aware that there are many others who don't agree with this position that are either retired in or are past police and fire?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am, unfortunately. The payout for this fund, because they are so overleveraged, the payout for other individuals—survivors of people, different participants in this program—are not able to maximize withdrawal because this fund is so overleveraged to the amount of $3 billion.
DAVIS: So your amendment was simply to determine whether or not this makes sense for us to move forward in this same fashion? Are you getting phone calls, as I am, with regard to folks not being able to get their money out of the DROP program as it stands today?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am. As it stands today, yes. I'm getting phone calls from individuals who are saying, "We are not able to withdraw our money because we are being told they are already so extremely overleveraged that there are not enough funds to actually do what was committed for the 10 years. If we extend that to 20 years, it is going to be mass chaos.
DAVIS: We've had to go back trying to figure out ways to get the board to be sensitive to the folks who are putting money into this account. And I want to be clear, we are talking about money that is not part of their retirement, but this is their own personal money that is in like a savings account. Is that correct?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am.
DAVIS: So right now folks who are currently in the DROP program have to take a monthly annuity versus being able to withdraw amounts of money out of the fund that they would like to have—that belongs to them. Is that correct?
RAMOS: Correct, and they are able to withdraw while they are still employed, as well.
DAVIS: Your amendment is basically saying that we need to review this because people have life savings in this account and we want to make sure it is protected. Is that correct?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am, that's correct.
DAVIS: No one should be fearful of looking at whether or not it is actuarially sound. Is that your notion here?
RAMOS: That's exactly right. I was simply asking for a check-in every five years to make sure the three billion doesn't become five billion doesn't become 10 billion. We are all on the line for this lack of prudence when we are talking about actually honoring our commitments to this fund.
DAVIS: I just want to make sure members understand that because I think it's important. We had this bill before us—this issue—so we're trying to make sure that the work we did a few sessions ago will continue to make sense for the citizens we represent. Is that correct?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am.
DAVIS: I just want to say to members: Please be careful to not ignore what we are trying to do because we are trying to be fiscally responsible for the citizens we represent. Would you agree with me?
RAMOS: Yes, ma'am.
DAVIS: It's unfortunate that you have to be against this bill because we are not able to look at it and review it for what it is supposed to be doing.
RAMOS: Thank you. Now to close, members, there was a different study and different information provided to the city council. And what it said is if the current three billion unfunded liability—this fund will not be fully funded for another 68 years if nothing changes. So that is where we are at right now.
If you vote against this bill, what you are saying is, "Let's remain with the status quo." We are still honoring the individuals and their 10 years—what they signed up for. We are going to continue to honor that and respect that fund as created when you signed up for it. What I am asking you to do is vote against this bill because it will allow them to continue to honor the individuals who are currently participating without exacerbating the problem. Then in two years we can come back and see if we want to double it, then by all means let's do that. But before we continue to dig ourselves into a negative deficit for the City of Dallas, let us make sure that we honor our commitment to the current participants of this fund. I ask that you do not support this bill, that you are prudent with this investment, and that we continue to honor those current participants. Thank you.
REPRESENTATIVE FRAZIER: I'm going to go over some numbers here. I think everybody's been watching the crime that's been happening all across our state. I'm going to just do this really quick because I think folks don't understand—or what they're being told.
In 2022, we had 212 officers leave the department. One hundred and fifty were hired. We have a class that's graduating at the end of this month of 17. Seventeen people are coming out of academy to protect a city of 1.2 million people. And with 25 cities that surround it, that makes over four million people in a population coming into a city—in and out every day. Just to give you some hard numbers: 990,000 calls last year, and you're doing it with 3,100 officers. In 2006 you had 3,600 officers. We're going backwards. This is a retention bill. This is all it does. If you had to go hire those officers, you would spend three times the amount of money to get that population of officers on a department versus creating this bill to protect it, to get us to the next session, to go to the fix.
So I urge you—especially my republican members—to vote for this bill. This is a retention bill. We do not want to see what's happening in Austin happening to the city of Dallas. That department that is the only major city department in the State of Texas that has lowered crime in the last two years. Think about that. The only one. So those of you that didn't vote for this yesterday, I urge you to vote for this bill and be right on crime. Thank you.
REPRESENTATIVE ANCHÍA: Representative Frazier, there's a lot of chatter, and I've had some people asking me if you are in favor of this bill because I think it was hard for people in the back to hear.
FRAZIER: The answer is yes: I am in favor of this bill. I'm on this bill. It's a very good bill.
ANCHÍA: So you're a joint author of this bill, you're in favor of this bill. In fact, every member of the legislature, on their desk, has a letter from the Dallas Police Association and the Dallas Firefighters in favor of this bill, correct?
FRAZIER: Yes. Members, if you look on your desks—and I know a lot of stuff gets put on your desk all the time—but if you look on your desk, you're going to see a one-pager that's out there with the Dallas Police and the Dallas Fire. Both of the associations are for this. Not only that, the city's for it, and the fund is for it. We have had no opposition until just now on this bill. So please vote for this bill.
DAVIS: Representative Frazier, I just want to ask you if in fact there are members in other associations who have concerns about their inability to get the money out of the program?
FRAZIER: The inability to get the DROP money out of the program has been an issue. It has because of the state of the fund. The answer is yes.
DAVIS: There are some concerns. Would you agree?
FRAZIER: This bill has zero to do with that. So what you're talking about right now has nothing to do with this bill.
DAVIS: And I understand that, but I want to make sure that we at least put it in perspective that there's a legitimate concern with extending the period. Is that correct?
FRAZIER: There is a concern, but what you're talking about has nothing to do with this bill.
DAVIS: What I was saying is we are extending the life of the DROP program from 10 years to 20 years. Is that correct?
FRAZIER: That is correct. To retain officers that are there right now that we need to keep. We had 12 officers leave last week. Did you know that?
DAVIS: There's a limited amount of officers that this really affects right now that we're talking about extending this to. Is that correct?
FRAZIER: Yes, ma'am.
DAVIS: So my question is—just because I think people are confused—we're not necessarily trying to say this is not good. What we're trying to say is that this further creates the instability of the fund because you're putting in monies, and people who currently have money in those programs cannot get their money out without doing a monthly annuity. Is that correct? And I know this doesn't do that in this bill, but currently is that the practice of the DROP program?
FRAZIER: This bill is a retention bill to keep the officers that we have that are senior.
DAVIS: But I'm asking you, based on the fact that you're now extending this time frame for these officers—
FRAZIER: For retention purposes.
DAVIS: For retention purposes, which makes good sense to me. I'm not opposed to what you're trying to do.
FRAZIER: Because you represent Dallas and you know what the crime is like.
DAVIS: I'm opposed to—those individuals who would like to get their monies out of DROP, they cannot now. And we're extending the period with the DROP program. Is that correct?
FRAZIER: Madam member, what your subject is has nothing to do with this bill. What you keep asking has nothing to do with this bill.
DAVIS: No, but it relates to what we're doing. Would you agree that it makes sense that one would be concerned about any kind of extension to a program which currently holds their money and they're not able to get to it? That's the relationship I'm trying to talk about. Though this bill doesn't do this, the question is that there's a concern—and I just want you to say yes or no. Are you aware that there's a concern by many officers that they can't currently get access to their money in the DROP program without taking a monthly annuity?
FRAZIER: There has been a concern of that, yes ma'am.
DAVIS: It makes sense then that somebody would want to make sure that the fund is actuarially sound as we extend the program. Would that make sense?
FRAZIER: I'll agree with you to an extent.
DAVIS: That's all I think we were trying to do is establish that this fund is unique in that people can't get their monies out of it like other retirement saving accounts, if you will.
FRAZIER: What they can't do is they can't draw a lump sum, is what you were speaking of, which they could do in the past.
DAVIS: Would you agree it is their money though? It is their money?
FRAZIER: It's annuitized and they are getting their payments. So they are getting their money from the fund and it comes out, but they can't take lump sums of money out.
DAVIS: So what you're saying is that it is right that they cannot get a lump sum out of this DROP program. That's correct?
FRAZIER: And this bill wouldn't change any of that.
DAVIS: And you didn't change any of that, but it makes sense that people would be concerned because you're capturing their money and holding it over this long period of time.
FRAZIER: Well the fund is holding their money. It's a pension fund.
DAVIS: And so they have to get a monthly annuity? That's what I'm asking.
FRAZIER: Yes ma'am. That is correct.
DAVIS: And is it also correct that people don't—officers, rank-and-file retirees that are unable to get their money in this, and they're not affiliated or beneficiaries—no longer affiliated with the city, or police and fire. They have to take a monthly annuity? The question is: Do you think that has anything to do with it being an actuarially sound plan?
FRAZIER: I don't know a fund out there that you can just go pull all your money out of on any type of pension fund. Thank you, members. Please vote yes for this bill.
REPRESENTATIVE NEAVE CRIADO: I want to start off by saying, one, that I am in favor of this. Two, I have the utmost respect for my colleagues and our delegation who are of differing viewpoints.
What I would like to talk about is what we are seeing on the ground in Dallas and the data that the Dallas Police Department is dealing with. The fact is that they get 5,300 calls every single day to 9-1-1. Five thousand and three hundred calls on average. Last year, in fiscal year 2022, they had 1.8 million 9-1-1 calls. When we are calling 9-1-1, we want and expect law enforcement to show up right away as soon as possible. And they are working hard with the resources that they have, with the number of officers that they have, to do their best to show up. There are some calls that require two officers to show up. Those are some accidents that occur on the freeway or they are domestic disturbance calls where there's an aggressor on the scene—domestic violence calls, if there's a robbery in progress, or a hostage shooting call. These are real issues that our city is dealing with and that requires more officers to show up to those 9-1-1 calls. Our city has created—our department has created—a tiered system of 9-1-1 calls. Their goal—they are short of meeting the priority one goal which are the most serious, violent calls. A goal is to get there in eight minutes as a response time. Right now, they are sitting just slightly above at 9.88 minutes for an officer to arrive on the scene. Legislation like this will help us, not just meet the goal of meeting those response times that all of our constituents want, but it also—when you look at what they're doing, year-to-date violent crime has decreased by more than five percent.
So they are working hard, members. We want to give them the tools. Our Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia and the department is asking for this extra tool to keep as many of our senior officers on the force so that we retain this institutional knowledge and this experience that they have on our force. Those are some of the reasons that I am in support of the bill. We are respectfully asking you to vote yes in support of this bill.
ANCHÍA: I'm sorry that this is taking longer than necessary. This is a top law enforcement priority in the City of Dallas. This will help us retain officers and it will make Dallas safer. Our police chief is begging us for this tool.

CSHB 5, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to agreements authorizing a limitation on taxable value on certain property to provide for the creation of jobs and the generation of state and local tax revenue; authorizing fees; authorizing a penalty.
CSHB 5 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE SMITHEE: First of all, Mr. Shine, let me say thanks to both you and Chairman Hunter for the time and the effort that y'all have put in on this legislation. Sitting near you, I know that you put your heart and soul into this and on behalf of the house we appreciate the time that you've spent doing this. So thank you very much.
I have a question that Mr. Hunter suggested I ask you. It's kind of down in the weeds on the bill, but it is my understanding that the bill defines both an eligible project and an eligible property. It is my understanding that in order to get tax treatment under this act, I would have both an eligible project and it would have to be built on an eligible property, is that a correct understanding?
REPRESENTATIVE SHINE: Mr. Smithee, that is correct.
SMITHEE: Here's what I'm getting at: on an eligible project, it would include a national or state security project or a supply chain infrastructure project, that's on page 3 of the bill. As I read the definition of a grid reliability project, which is included in that definition, it would be any project that generates base load or dispatchable electricity for the power grid, do you follow me so far?
SHINE: I do.
SMITHEE: An eligible project could include renewable energy if it could be certified as dispatchable, is that correct?
SHINE: I think that is probably a definition that is not completely clear. Dispatchable projects, as I understood the definition, would include battery storage, would include lots of areas in that arena with the exception of alternative energy sources such as wind or solar.
SMITHEE: Assuming—and we're not there yet, but assuming that within four to five years that we could have battery storage or air compression such that we could make renewable energy dispatchable—under the definition into the grid that we're using—would then a renewable project be an eligible project under this bill?
SHINE: If that was provided for by this legislative body, you could probably plug that in without too much trouble.
SMITHEE: Under the language in the bill now, it seems to me that if I can certify some capacity of energy as being dispatchable, then it doesn't matter where it's coming from. It could be renewable, it could be carbon, it could be almost anything, but if it's dispatchable it would qualify as an eligible project.
SHINE: That's correct.
SMITHEE: Then we have the definition of an eligible property, which as I read it, would take away—
SHINE: Where is that, sir?
SMITHEE: That's on page 3 of the bill, line 16. An "eligible property" excludes any property used for intermittent power generation to supply electricity to the power grid. To me it looks like a potential conflict there. I could have an eligible project, but even if it was an eligible project, it might not be built on an eligible property, and therefore wouldn't qualify under the exemption. So could you give me some clarification on that? I'm sorry to hit you with this, I should have talked to you about this before, but honestly it just came up in reading the bill.
SHINE: If you'll look on page 3, under line 16, (9), and you look at the Subchapters (A) and (i), this gets back to your question from just a moment ago about projects constructed after the date of the agreement pertaining to the project that's entered into. It appears that it's possible, as you mentioned four to five years later, of being able to have another source of energy that could be used in the dispatchable arena.
SMITHEE: My concern is to make sure we're not picking winners or losers here. As long as energy can meet certain criteria, objective criteria, that it would be eligible. That's my concern.
SHINE: The intermittent power generation itself is not going to qualify in Chapter 403.
SMITHEE: I get that because we need dispatchable power, but honestly we need dispatchable power from wherever we can get it from as far as I can tell, so I appreciate your clarification on that.

CSHB 5 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE COLLIER: Thank you so much. Representative Shine, I want to thank you and Chair Hunter, because I could tell after reading this bill, that you took a lot of time and effort to come up with the provisions. It's very detailed, and so I appreciate the work that you've done on this.
I do have a few clarifying questions that I'd like to ask you. I'm going to go to the bill analysis on page 2, and it talks about required jobs and investment. For purposes of our discussion right now, I want to look at the first section that deals with the project with a taxable value of property of $10 billion or more for the tax year proceeding the year in which the application is done. I'm going to operate off of that section. We understand taxable value is appraised value less exemptions, is that right?
REPRESENTATIVE SHINE: That is correct.
COLLIER: Okay, so the question I have is it says if you have—under this section, if this is applicable to you—you have to create at least 50 required jobs. And in another portion of this section, it talks about construction jobs being eligible for this 50 required job obligation. My question is what is a construction job?
SHINE: Construction jobs are going to be the ones that are on site. They are going to be a part of putting this project into creation. Any and everybody that is on site and that is employed by the applicant—that's being employed by them directly—that's working this project is going to count as a construction job.
COLLIER: What about the architect?
SHINE: You asked me that question a moment ago and I'll get you an answer on that one, I don't have an answer on that one yet. They're associated with the planning process and what have you. I'll see if I can get you an answer before we get through with your questions.
COLLIER: What about the engineer?
SHINE: Engineer would be a part of the construction job.
COLLIER: Okay. I do see that you took time to say that you only get, for those 50 required jobs under this provision that we're looking at, you said that one of them can be construction site. But you can get credit for one required job for every 10 construction site jobs, is that right?
SHINE: That is correct. And those would be jobs that would be not directly on the site, but would be associated with the construction itself.
COLLIER: Okay so perhaps the architect, the engineer—
SHINE: Well no, the architects—I just got an answer for you there. Architects are part of the labor charges and architects are included in the construction job numbers.
COLLIER: Okay, so whenever you're doing construction work, there's a lot of things that go into it. Is it accurate to say that there is a potential that an applicant could reach their 50 required jobs during their construction phase?
SHINE: Yes, absolutely. I think in most cases—at least reviewing past performances of these projects—most of them have exceeded that, and some rather significantly.
COLLIER: Okay, but the 50 required jobs could be accomplished at the very beginning before they even start doing anything?
SHINE: That is correct.
COLLIER: The next question I have deals with the $100 million investment under this section that I referred to in the beginning—the project over $10 billion. The $100 million, I guess it's an investment, that's just saying the property is worth $100 million. How does that number come up?
SHINE: The $100 million is actually what they have to put in place in the project before the incentive even begins.
COLLIER: Is there money being exchanged? What do you mean they have to put in? They have to invest $100 million? How would they do that?
SHINE: They have to have an investment of material, and cost associated with putting that material there of $100 million or more.
COLLIER: Okay, that was the question I was asking. The next question I have, going back to those 50 required jobs: Is the applicant required to create 50 new jobs every year, or they just have to maintain 50?
SHINE: They have to maintain the 50 jobs each year. And obviously, in the early stages of the project you will meet a certain job requirement and as the project progresses you're probably going to end up with a lot more than 50 jobs that will be associated with the construction itself. Most of the economic impact of the jobs that we're talking about is going to be through the course of the construction period itself. Those construction periods could be anywhere from three to four years—could possibly be a little longer, not necessarily shorter than that.
COLLIER: But there's no obligation for the applicant to create more jobs if they meet the 50 required under the provisions of this bill?
SHINE: Ms. Collier, I think that would depend on the project itself, if it would require them to have more employees.
COLLIER: No, I'm talking about obligations, the commitment, they are making.
SHINE: That's the obligation based on the matrix and the formula. That's correct.
COLLIER: Right. Okay, so your answer is that there is no requirement to create—
SHINE: If they have met the 50 employee average, then they have met the requirement on the matrix.
COLLIER: Is there a historically underutilized business provision in here that would encourage or require an applicant to utilize historically underutilized businesses to accomplish their work and their commitment to Texas?
SHINE: Are you talking about HUB businesses?
COLLIER: Yes, sir.
SHINE: There's not a requirement in the legislation to require HUB businesses specifically. We have a number of those businesses that are scattered around the State of Texas that are predominantly in construction or construction support type businesses. I believe it would depend on whether there was a business of that nature within the location of the project that would be able to bid on the project and participate. There's nothing that prohibits it.
COLLIER: Well, I'm glad, but since we are creating a new section, this would be something that would be helpful to include, so that we can get those small, disadvantaged businesses the opportunity to also see the benefit that our school districts will see from the provisions of this bill. So that was one of my other questions. The next question I have deals with the required jobs. So in three to four years we're done with construction and I have to maintain the required number of jobs on average. My first year I did 75, my second year I did 75, the next year I did 75. Would I be able to go down to 50 or do I have to do the average of 75?
SHINE: If the requirement in your application and the agreement you have with the district is for 50 employees in the construction period, as long as you maintain that average through the construction period, you have met that requirement.
COLLIER: Could the school district increase that requirement? I just want to see how much flexibility, or how much leverage, a school district has. Can they increase those 50 required or it's in statute and they cannot?
SHINE: Based on the way it's outlined in the bill there's an agreement between the school district and the applicant and if the school district says that in order to make the agreement work that they wanted a higher average of employees, they could certainly specify that in the agreement and the applicant could either agree to that or say no we don't agree with that and not pursue an agreement with them on the project.
COLLIER: Thank you for pointing that out because the rule, according to the bill analysis, says at least 50 jobs. So if the school district decides that they want 100 jobs, they can make that request based on whatever the circumstances are in their community?
SHINE: They can make that part of their agreement process and then the applicant can certainly choose to say yes or no and enter into an agreement or not enter into an agreement.
COLLIER: Thank you. The next question deals with virtual jobs. These jobs that are going to be created—I heard you say something about on site—so the 50 jobs under our scenario that we're still working under, the top tier, the 50 jobs must be in Texas, on site, not virtual?
SHINE: That's correct. These are construction jobs on site these are not virtual—
COLLIER: No, sorry, not construction. Say, for instance, we are done with the construction period and now we're into the actual operation of the business. The 50 jobs that they have, can they be virtual or not virtual?
SHINE: They do not have to be on site.
COLLIER: And then the next question I have is the $60,000 application fee. Is that set in stone because it seems like its very inclusive?
SHINE: That is set in the statute on the $60,000 application fee, as well as the amendment fee that is set out in the statutes.
COLLIER: I will say that I do appreciate the provision in there about the comptroller having to give a second look at the application to make sure that their statement about the economic benefit in the school district's impact statement has to be verified, or at least reviewed, by the comptroller for accuracy and veracity. I do appreciate that part because if the comptroller does not believe that that statement is true, then they can deny the application.
SHINE: That is correct and there is a hearing process if they do deny that that would allow the applicant to pursue if they are denied.

AMENDMENT NO. 4 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE PATTERSON: Mr. Smithee, the biomass plant that you talked about over in East Texas, that is owned by Austin Energy. Is that correct?
REPRESENTATIVE SMITHEE: I really don't know. I just had the conversation with Mr. Clardy, and he's concerned that under the terms of the bill, plants like that might open in other parts of the state—and I have some of those in my district that use cow manure, honestly, and other forms of waste to produce energy.
PATTERSON: Are you aware that that biomass plant in East Texas provided zero megawatts during the Winter Storm Uri event?
SMITHEE: I don't know anything about it. But I know that we had a number of thermal plants and other sources that provided zero energy during that period of time. We had failures among virtually all of our sources of electricity—of generation that we have out there.
PATTERSON: Actually, most of the generation was natural gas-fired during Winter Storm Uri. Are you aware that more than 60 percent of the megawatts that are in the queue for ERCOT already are intermittent resources, wind and solar, predominantly solar? So are you saying that we need to add more incentives for wind and solar for them to build in ERCOT?
SMITHEE: Well, I'm saying this, that if wind—the problem with wind and solar, so far, has been the intermittence. That although it has given us a power source, it has not been what we would consider or define as a dispatchable source. And I get that. We don't need any more power unless it's going to be available when we need it. And so all this amendment says—and basically, let me tell you where we are on the bill right now. A wind or solar project, or any renewable project, could fit into the definition of an "eligible project," okay? But there's a question as to whether it would fit into the definition of an "eligible property". In a way this amendment just clarifies this. Now, it's a policy decision this legislature is going to have to make. Do you want to pick a winner and a loser here or do we want to say whatever source of power we can get it from, that will be sustainable and will also be dispatchable and dependable, we want that for our grid? Because we're going to need that.
PATTERSON: Isn't it true that the federal government is already picking winners and losers when it comes to our energy resources? I mean, subsidies for natural gas are 39 cents for every $20 that wind power receives and $80 that solar receives. So the federal government's already picking winners and losers and this bill would help alleviate that by providing some incentives for dispatchable generation resources and not wind and solar. Is that not true?
SMITHEE: I'm not sure our job is to level the playing field. What I want to do is to encourage the production of energy. Because the more energy capacity we can get online the better it is for Texas consumers. It ensures reliability and it also helps cut the cost of the electricity to the ultimate consumer. And those renewable sources that we have out there now, primarily the wind, has reduced the cost of electricity to the end user throughout the State of Texas. And that's a good thing.
PATTERSON: I disagree. Wind power breaks even at negative 2.5 cents per kilowatt hour. Is that true?
SMITHEE: No. I don't know if I understand your question. But I'm just telling you, the cost per kilowatt hour is significantly less for renewables than it is for thermal.
PATTERSON: But it depressed the market to such a degree that no one else would invest in our market, and therefore that's why no more dispatchable, no more thermal generation's been built in half a decade, basically. Because they depressed the market to such a degree, which causes issues like what we had this past January here and in Winter Storm Uri. Is that not correct?
SMITHEE: You're talking about the past; I'm talking about the future. We've got to look to the future. We can't do anything about the past. But in the future, if we can create dependable, reliable, dispatchable energy from whatever source it might be, that's what we need to be doing. We need to put aside our special interests and what source we may prefer. And I'm of the opinion, all of the above. When we want energy, when we need it, we can't discriminate against any source.
PATTERSON: But should we be investing tax dollars into a product that at best performs at 45 percent in nameplate capacity, like wind and solar does—at best 45 percent—when thermal generation provides at 98 percent in nameplate capacity at peek? Why would we invest taxpayer dollars in something that doesn't even work halfway?
SMITHEE: Jared, I don't think you understand. What I'm saying here is we're not doing that. All we're going to do is if wind and solar and other renewables can become fully dispatchable, and can certify that, then they would qualify. It's an incentive to those renewable sources to become reliable sources of energy. This is the future. If you're against this, you're on the wrong side of history.
PATTERSON: But the PCM is a very complicated structure that we're having to put into place to make up for the wind and solar deficiencies in the grid. And isn't that the incentive that we're really debating, not just handing out tax dollars to renewables? The PCM is the actual incentive that is built in for thermal, or any kind of dispatchable generation that can perform when needed. What this would allow, this amendment the way that I read it, sir, it says that "property use for intermittent power generation to supply power to the grid," we're talking about wind and solar here. Correct?
SMITHEE: No. Well, this is just the definition of a project—of a property. Under the bill, it still has to be dispatchable, and that's the magic word, it has to be dispatchable. We're not there yet. There's not a project that I know of right now that would qualify under this criteria. But four years from now, five years from now, there will be in all probability. And so we need to prepare for the future. You've got to understand. This is all about the future. It's about your children and your grandchildren being able to have enough power to turn the lights on in their home. We don't know where that power is going to come from. This won't create it, but it will certainly help. And it will drive down the cost of electricity for the consumers here in Texas. So let's put aside all the special interests that are involved here and let's for once do what's in the best interest of the people, the citizens, of Texas.
PATTERSON: Thank you for entertaining my questions, sir. I just have one more question. With this amendment, is it your understanding that wind and solar would fall into CSHB 5 and be allowed to receive taxpayer dollars with your amendment?
SMITHEE: Only to the extent that they can certify that they are providing dispatchable power.
REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER: Number one, I'll be opposing this amendment. Number two, there was an agreement made with groups on this particular bill. And the third thing is, I want you all to make sure that you understand this is not the renewable versus nonrenewable. This is about school districts; this is about business coming to Texas. There is an agreement made, we're going to honor the agreement, and we are helping, for example, the other groups in some other matters. So very short and to the point: I'll be asking you to oppose this amendment.

Amendment No. 13 - Point of Order
Representative K. King raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 13 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. King of Hemphill raises a point of order against further consideration of the Harrison Amendment (Amendment No. 13), under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
The bill authorizes certain agreements to limit the taxable value of certain property developed for specified economic development purposes. The bill requires the comptroller to approve any agreement before it may be approved by a school district's board of trustees. The amendment would prohibit the trustees from approving any agreement if less than 50 percent of its maintenance and operation expenditures in the preceding school year were for "the salaries . . . and provide employment benefits to full-time classroom teachers." Mr. Harrison argues that his amendment merely provides a limitation on the discretionary authority conferred on trustees by the bill.
The bill requires an applicant, not the school district, to submit the application. The requirement for the comptroller's review is to ensure both that the application satisfies the statutory criteria and that the comptroller has sufficient information to discharge his responsibilities under the school finance law. The amendment relates to matters beyond the scope of the bill. Thus, it is not germane. See, e.g., 88 H. Jour. 2939 (2023) (sustaining point of order against Ramos Amendment to HB 4653).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 13.

Amendment No. 15 - Point of Order
Representative Zwiener raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 15 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Ms. Zwiener raises a point of order against further consideration of the Schaefer Amendment (Amendment No. 15), under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
The bill authorizes certain agreements to limit the taxable value of certain property developed by applicants for specified economic development purposes. The amendment would prohibit an applicant from "compensating or otherwise providing a monetary benefit . . . in connection with [a covered job] relating to an activity that would . . . constitute a criminal offense [or] violate any provision of the Occupations Code[.]" Mr. Schaefer argues that his amendment merely provides a limitation on the eligibility of applicants described by the bill.
It is well-settled that the major purpose of an amendment determines its germaneness. 47 H. Jour. 1123 (1941). The purpose of the amendment is to regulate activity by persons under the criminal and occupational laws of this state. The amendment is clearly broader than the scope of the bill and is plainly not germane. See 75 H. Jour. 1147 (1997).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 15.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE GRANTED
The following member was granted leave of absence temporarily for today because of important business:
Morales Shaw on motion of C. Morales.

HB 3297 ON SECOND READING
(by C.J. Harris and Harless)
HB 3297, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the elimination of regular mandatory vehicle safety inspections for noncommercial vehicles and the imposition of replacement fees.
(Moody in the chair)
HB 3297 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE TURNER: I think you partially answered my question with your exchange with Representative Rosenthal, but I just want to clarify. So the bill would abolish the safety inspection, but still require the emissions inspection in our nonattainment areas. Is that correct?
REPRESENTATIVE C.J. HARRIS: That's correct. Yes, sir.
TURNER: I'm just wondering, practically, how that would work. Right now, once a year I take my vehicle in and I get a safety inspection and an emissions inspection at the same time. So would I still go to the same type of facility that offers those state inspections, but they would simply only do the emissions inspection and not a safety inspection?
C.J. HARRIS: Yes, sir. That's what I believe.
TURNER: I think there's been a question raised about whether the existing emissions inspection that's authorized under your bill, would that also include a gas cap inspection?
C.J. HARRIS: A gas cap inspection? Is that what you said?
TURNER: Yes, sir. A gas cap, yes. So as part of the emissions inspection, my understanding is they evaluate the integrity of the gas cap because that's where a lot of the emissions can come from. If you have a gas cap that's not tight or secure, that contributes to our NOx issues in the nonattainment areas.
C.J. HARRIS: Nothing in my bill alters the way the emissions tests or inspections are done now. So if that's what's required now, my bill does not change that.
TURNER: So your intent with the bill would be to allow for any emissions-related inspection or test to continue, including a gas cap inspection?
C.J. HARRIS: Correct.
TURNER: Thank you for clarifying that.
